Smells like a whole lot of corruption. Going to be really interesting to see how this plays out.

Yep, until we purge the GOP of leftists, that's all we're ever going to have.

At my age it's a fun time in my life.  All under the table goings on is coming out.

(*Foghorn Leghorn*) Where were YOU, son, during the Nixon Administration, I say, followed by the Jiminy Peanut era, yes SIR!, which exposed all the stuff done by Nixon (and screwed us on everything else, particularly defense)?



I think it was Plato who said we elect our biggest criminals. England even knights them.

How big a cornfield and how many Bobcats to dig the hole?

Forget bobcats, we need caterpillars.

Ahem. We must observe the niceties when referencing those parts of America which not only work but help others to do better work themselves.

Make that Caterpillar™ (which had no use for unions).  Now, about that field-size....

Great read to start the day.     If the field ain't large, go deep.

I've got tons of respect for builders, and a whole lot less for destroyers. Not the wrecking-ball professionals imploding skyscrapers, or the refurbishers stripping off old fascia to refresh and reuse something worth saving.

Today's destroyers are squatters ripping out anything worth reselling, human cockroaches ruining entire neighborhoods, cities, and potentially even whole states. We have a few hundred of them in Congress.

Those small jobs burying that trash, I'm not so sure the Cat folks would want to get involved.

What was the topic again?

It was getting really interesting, until some knucklehead derailed it.

This "family affair" political friends stuff... seems to be taking precedence over being a good employee.

I'm all for Comey getting hung-out-to-dry on this Clinton scandal, maybe Trump is the catalyst for bringing about some honest change.

This is getting disgusting, Comey looks like he never was on the side of Justice, but in the back pocket of the Clinton machine from the start.

Exactly! The real question is, why did Trump keep him around this long? The evidence points out that he should have been indicted as soon as Trump was seated.
Yeah, obviously a Clinton/Comey/Russian connection can be made, anyway, Comey obviously covered for her.

And why is John Koskinen still the head of the IRS?

Good question. I realize there is a lot to do, unraveling the damage the Marxist party did over the last 8 years, but you'd think Trump would have had a group in place with a list of recommended replacements for the leftists.
Maybe it is time Trump quit playing gotcha with the press and focus on why he was elected.

That is why I am a proponent of him just ignoring the MSM. They are not worth his time. Leave the MSM to Spicer and Huckabee Sanders.

Yep, it's one thing to taunt them, but another thing when it becomes the main focus of the presidency.

Not to go off topic, but the media war is failing. If as many people watched the news as the left wishes they did and believed their Marxist lies, the results would be far different than a leftist survey exposed about the failure of the media to portray Trump as losing the debate over Comey's firing.

A HuffPost/YouGov Survey released Thursday found that 33 percent of Americans say that Trump made the right decision in firing Comey, while 34 percent say he made the wrong decision. The remaining 33 percent aren't sure what to think about Comey's firing.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll also released Thursday found very similar results — 35 percent of Americans approve of Trump's decision, 33 percent thought he shouldn't have fired Comey, and 32 percent can't make up their minds.

I know it was a bit off topic, but it exposes the left's failure to seize the narrative and distract from the truth, that it was Comey covering for Clinton.

Kepp in mind, this was a leftist poll designed to favor Dims, and this was the best they could produce?
But there's one thing that puzzles me, the absence of questions. Why did they leave them out of the public's view?

It would appear.... James Comey didn't like getting FIRED!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/politics/james-comey-trump-flynn-russia-investigation.html?smid=tw-share&_r=2

Quote"I hope you can let this go," the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

The existence of Mr. Trump's request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia.

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president's improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent's contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

What a bunch of baloney.  If you don't like your boss, save yourself the embarrassment of being FIRED and just quietly leave.
Now, that we know he won't go away quietly, he'll become a tool of the Democrats, and possibly all kinds of stuff will come out - with him ultimately taking the fall for Hillary.  Interesting... Comey is refusing to testify in public or closed door sessions.
